VGChartz expects Halo: Reach to perform very similarly to the Xbox 360 version of Modern Warfare 2, maybe even overtaking Modern Warfare 2. As you can see in the chart below:

Halo started slowly and then picked up dramatically to overtake Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360). With under a week remaining until the game launches, lets observe if Halo manages to beat the record-breaking Modern Warfare 2 in pre-orders before launch.

By the stats – Biggest console “week one” sales of all time – Modern warfare 2 has sold 4,942,101 copies in the first week. By the amount of current pre-orders plus estimate sales in the first week (3 million) coming from Halo: Reach, Halo will be sitting on 4,250,000 (estimate) – coming second on the chart – above GTA: San Andreas and Halo 3.

If you haven’t pre-ordered yet, be part of the record to beat Modern warfare 2, and get pre-ordering now! If you don’t own an Xbox….wait for the slim (btw Xbox sucks – until the slim)
